Creating Buzz

I received a note today from an artist I featured on Pink Trash Travels a few weeks back. In short, I wasn't a fan of one of this artist's single releases. On the flip side, I did make a few positive comments regarding this artist's looks. Well, I just received a personal note from this artist stating,

"Sorry you didnt like the song....nor my acting chops. btw your blog is beautiful ;)

All the best,

-Lady gaga wannabe

For starters, I appreciate the fact that this artist reached out to me to state his opinion. That's what makes the world go around. As such, I had to do the same. So, I replied to this artist with the following email:

Thanks for reaching out and sending me a note to react to my blip about you on my blog. I was just reacting honestly to a song (and an image) that caught my attention. You can't please everyone I suppose (as I've received negative notes about the blog).

As for the the Lady Gaga reference, I was detailing how, with the synthesizers and such, it seemed like the track was trying to squeeze into the "sound of the moment." That's not wrong, it's just, for me, it missed the mark. If I was recording a song, I'd do the same (as that's what I like). And it could very well not be liked someone too.

Finally, in regards to your acting, I was making reference to the fact that I haven't seen it, so I "...don't know about it." I can't (nor should) judge your talent if I haven't viewed your work.

So again, it was just an honest reaction, a personal take, on what I heard (and saw). I wish you the best. Good luck with your career.

Let's see if (or how) this artist responds. And who knows, we could form a long term friendship founded on a little bit of honesty. :)
